Furthermore, they had heard that the Styx Ancestor's natal magic weapon had been stolen from his Blood Sea lair. Recalling the constipated expression on the Styx Ancestor's face when he looked at Wang Han during the lecture—a mixture of wanting to attack but hesitating—they could guess that the person who stole the Styx Ancestor's natal magic weapon was Wang Han. Keep in mind, the Styx Ancestor was a Quasi-Saint; the fact that he could be bullied like this by Wang Han further proved that Wang Han's strength was absolutely formidable.
Tongtian even somewhat regretted taking Zhao Gongming as his disciple, because Zhao Gongming was very likely Wang Han's subordinate, perhaps even unaware of it himself. He deduced from Zhao Gongming's words that Zhao Gongming was unaware of Wang Han's true power. He didn't want to ruin Wang Han's plans, offend him, or fall into his trap. Unfortunately, he had already accepted the disciple, and couldn't back out now. He could only wait for Wang Han's return to see how to resolve the situation.
"I didn't expect you to return so quickly, senior! I thought it would take hundreds of years!"
"Gongming, no matter what we say, don't speak unless we ask you." Tongtian muttered to himself as he watched the luxurious carriage galloping towards them from afar. He then walked in front of Zhao Gongming to wait, not forgetting to give Zhao Gongming this instruction.
"Yes, Master." Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming quickly replied, standing respectfully behind Tongtian, his heart pounding with nervousness. He desperately wanted Tongtian to accept his three sisters and Wang Han as disciples. After all, there were only so many powerful figures in the prehistoric world, and not everyone had the opportunity, let alone Tongtian, a sage predetermined by the Heavenly Dao. For the sake of his three sisters and Wang Han, he had already decided that even if it meant disobeying his master's orders once, he would still speak up.
......
Before long, Wang Han maneuvered the carriage to land in the courtyard and led Hongyun and Sanxiao off the carriage.
"Senior, Fellow Daoist Hongyun." Seeing Wang Han alight from the carriage, Tongtian stepped forward first and said with a smile, "Senior, I have come uninvited and apologize for disturbing you. Please forgive me."
(?;;) Hearing Tongtian address Wang Han as "Senior," Zhao Gongming's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. After becoming Tongtian's disciple, he naturally learned of Tongtian's background: a Quasi-Saint with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun as his master—a being who could practically roam freely in the prehistoric world. Yet now, Tongtian was addressing Wang Han as "Senior," acting with utmost respect. How could this be? Could Wang Han be on par with the Dao Ancestor, or perhaps a great figure from the same era?
Looking at Tongtian standing in front of Zhao Gongming, Wang Han said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, your arrival is a rare treat! I apologize for not welcoming you properly! How could I possibly blame you!"
"You're too kind, senior. Just call me Tongtian." Tongtian quickly replied.
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian!" Hongyun also bowed to Tongtian and said with a smile, "It's been a long time. Fellow Daoist Tongtian's cultivation has greatly improved. It's truly a cause for celebration."
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, you flatter me. Fellow Daoist Hongyun has already touched the threshold of Quasi-Saint, and I believe it won't be long before you step into the Quasi-Saint realm." Upon hearing this, Tongtian said modestly.
"Let's stop praising each other, Fellow Daoist Tongtian and Fellow Daoist Hongyun. Let's go inside and talk later," Wang Han said with a smile. He then said to Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, "Brother Gongming, you and the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, please wait for me outside for a while. I have a few words to say to Fellow Daoist Tongtian and Fellow Daoist Hongyun."
After saying that, Wang Han reached out and invited Tongtian and Hongyun to walk together towards the main hall of the wooden house.
"Senior, please go first!" Upon seeing this, Tongtian quickly said, obediently following behind Wang Han, not daring to overstep his bounds at all.

"Brother Gongming, who is this Tongtian?" Wang Han led Tongtian and Hongyun into the house, and Bixiao couldn't help but ask Zhao Gongming.
"This..." Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming hesitated for a moment, but still honestly said, "This is my newly appointed master, a top power in the prehistoric world. He is a disciple of Hongjun Daozu and one of the saints destined by the Heavenly Dao. He will surely become a saint in the future."
"So powerful!" Upon hearing this, the Three Immortals were all astonished. They were astonished that Tongtian's background was so great, and even more astonished that Tongtian, with such a great background, would address Wang Han as a senior, and do so with such utmost respect.
"I never expected that Brother Wang Han would be even more powerful than a great being," Bi Xiao said excitedly, as if she herself were incredibly powerful.
“…” Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao.
“Three girls, if you could become Wang Han’s disciples, your cultivation level would definitely rise rapidly,” Zhao Gongming said.
Upon hearing this, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao looked at each other, and finally Yunxiao smiled and said, "Brother Gongming, Brother Wang Han has found us the most suitable master, Hongyun. Wang Han said that he was the first red cloud when heaven and earth were first created, and also the first cloud to cultivate and take human form."
"It's really kind of Brother Wang Han to go to such lengths." Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming nodded and said that Hongyun was indeed more suitable to be the master of the Three Immortals of Sanxiao.
